Why do our receivers have such a hard time getting seperation against teams that aren't terrible 

In the intricate tapestry of Michigan's football strategy, could you unravel the multifaceted layers encompassing the duo and insert run schemes, delving into the biomechanical nuances of individual offensive linemen's blocking techniques, the cognitive processes governing split-second decision-making by running backs in response to real-time defensive shifts, the algorithmic underpinnings of predictive analytics guiding pre-game preparations, and the adaptive learning mechanisms employed by the coaching staff to iteratively refine these schemes, thereby forging a symbiotic relationship between the human and data-driven elements within the team's offensive prowess?

Thanks. I look forward to your response.

How is Michigan replacing the coaching staff it lost and how does the shifted responsibilities affect the other coaches now that it's end of season?

Will we see a backfield with Blake Corum-Kalel Mullings-Don Edwards against Bama? Mullings as lead blocker or runner, Corum as counter, DE as pitch man or split out wide.

Hey Alex,

Oftentimes my household sponges accumulate an awful amount of buildup. What can I do to prevent this?

Thanks!

Who voted to force Petitti's hand?

Can we find out each Days findings from the PI's now following the Buckeye head coach's every move before the NCAA does? Wouldn't want any more competitive advantages to occur.

I heard that Michigan has been practicing all year specifically for OSU and Georgia. Now that the Bulldogs are out, how much of an adjustment is it to play Alabama?  Also, how different/similar are Texas and Washington to anyone we have faced this year?

I’ll accept the negs I might get…

How realistic is the possibility of vacated wins due to the Signgate fallout? My buddies who know more than me say very unlikely but the mouth-breathing social media trolls have me mildly concerned…

Is it possible the whole “beat Georgia” mantra/drills were around game planning?  In other words, even with as much as we held back all season specifically to bring out against OSU, could we have been holding just as much back to bring out in the playoffs?

Does this look infected to you?

What is the pitch umich is making to Dante Moore? How is the coaching working on bringing in top qb and wr talent considering our offensive system?

Is Las Vegas in play?

How many garbage time TDs will Alex Orji score against Bama, and why is the answer three?

Alex,

After doing all the FFFF study on Ohio State, which Buckeyes' performance in The Game surprised you as better than you expected, and where might you think certain Buckeyes under-performed your expectations?

What is the greatest college fight song ever written? 
 
Also, 

Who's got it better then us?

If you were Nick Saban, how would you attack Michigan?

Could you write a clear explanation of how the Portal works along with a FAQ? What constitute tampering? When is there a 'free' portal move? How does it actually work? Is it a website run by the NCAA? Are players given unique ID numbers? Is it irrevocable? Do players change their minds and back out and if so does that count as their one free move?

It hurts when I pee.  Should I be worried?

With Zak Zinter out, how can SM fix the OL in time to beat Bama?

Could Hinton play RG in the playoffs to add some oomph to the IOL? 

Have you been happy or disappointed in Sherrone Moore's play calling as it relates to the passing game considering his background as an o line coach? It seems he has had mixed results using Donovan Edwards in the passing game and guys like Clemons haven't really seen the field. 

Will the manifesto ever be made public?

Spin on the “why does Michigan historically do poorly in bowl games?”

Which programs or coaches have done the best in bowl games and is there anything behind why?

Harbaugh at least won the Orange Bowl at Stanford and was successful in the NFL in the playoffs but the NFL is obviously a different format. 

3 straight years in the playoffs.  Recruiting is mediocre based on site rankings - obviously results exceed the raw rankings.

Is UM at a disadvantage in the NIL era, just identifying the right talent for the UM system, or focused on recruits + transfers to build a roster closer to the NFL?

Who should be assigned to spy on Milroe?  Mikey, Mike or Junior?

Are you seeing evidence that programs are strategically using the transfer portal to bring in players from rival school so as to get access to their rival’s  gameplans?  

Assuming Coach stays and JJ leaves, what does the offense look like next year?

And what is the meaning of the fetus scene in 2001?  (Ever since seeing this question in National Lampoon in 1978 I’ve always wanted to ask it again).

What type of sanctions/punishment do you expect the NCAA and/or B1G to levy on Harbaugh/UofM for signgate next year?   I am hearing everything from nothing to 1 year suspension and vacated wins.

How good is the incoming hockey recruiting class? Which players could be difference makers next year? Will we have to go to the portal again for a goalie?

Even after three B10 championships and an exclusive three-peat playoff appearance, why do we struggle to recruit 5 star players?
